Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Japanese for “The Gentle Art, is a cutting edge martial art style, perfected by the legendary Gracie Family in Brazil. Jiu-Jitsu promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using proper leverage and technique can successfully defend himself against a bigger, stronger opponent. BJJ can be trained for self-defense, sport grappling tournament and mixed martial arts.

Here at Gracie Barra Countryside, we make Jiu-Jitsu fun and easy to learn. We cater to anyone and everyone wishing to learn Jiu-Jitsu for self defense, to get in shape or to be a high level competitor.

Message from Master Carlos Gracie Jr

“At the heart of the Gracie Barra Family’s extraordinary success over the years is our strong philosophy and mission as a group, a foundation which our masters laid many years ago, but is constantly being reinforced by the great people that make our community. Jiu-Jitsu is a beautiful art, and we have a vision of how it should be taught as a means for individual development going beyond the competitive realm. To achieve this vision, we must remember to come together as a family, always putting the team in front of individual. For that, we will fight to the end for what we believe is right”.
